How are you going to do the frame?
just going to shorten it, or graft on a short-bed rear section?
the reason I ask is I found out the hard way that the DRW hangers locate the leaf springs closer to the frame that the SRW ones do. So if you are shortening the frame, you will either need to swap hangers or move the saddles on the rear axle tubes in-board

are you going to keep it 8 lug?
